US Citizenship General DiscussionOath Ceremony

I was approved on July 5, 2012.. How long does it usually take to schedule an oath ceremony.??


First, Congratulations! Posted Image

For me, I had my interview on June 18th. The same week, I received two text messages; one stating I was in the oath scheduling que. The other stating a letter was sent out with my oath date and location. The following week I received the letter. I have my oath on 07/18/12 (might have had to change it, though). Looking on this site, some have had it sooner, some waited a little longer. I guess it depends how busy and/or how often ceremonies are held at a particular location.

US Citizenship General DiscussionTraffic violation? Which box(es) to check
@LA80.

Thanks!
Yes. apart from proving i had fixed the problem, I did not go to a judge or anything either. I was sweating trying to work out whether to tick the box or not. And sweating more as to what they would say at the interview. Maybe someone will know the definitive answer.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInfo on Paperwork/Forms and the Visa Interview
[quote name='pposhes' date='Apr 30 2007, 12:57 PM' post='873129']
Is there anyone out there who lives in the UK and have a USA fiance who is filing for them to come to the USA to live.
I would like a list of the documents that you are asked to take with you at the interview at the USA embassy in the UK.



Hi - I need the same! I have sent off my DS-230 and the rest, now want to prep for the interview...is there anyone who can help?
I want to know: how long it will take to get an interview, and what kind of things they ask?
Thanks

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1 Visa Approved after Interview
Congrats!! It is very re-assuring to hear that it was a pleasant experience and it is especially good they didn't press to hard about the financial requirements. I am in a similar situation where my fiance (the petitioner) doesn't meet the requirements and I am going through the London Embassy, I'm hoping my savings will get us through!! I have always thought I don't think this is as big of an issue for the UK as perhaps in other countries but it is always nice to hear other VJ-ers success stories!!! Best of luck for your wedding and marriage!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionFinal question- Affidavit of support
I don't know how it works being self-employed in the US but here in the UK I pay myself through my business bank account and I get official bank statements so I can highlight my weekly salary payments. Or alternatively what kind of invoicing system does your fiance use? If they are typed invoices you could provide a couple of those to give the CO an idea of what kinda of weekly/monthly salary they are paying themselves. If they are electronic invoices you could provide a couple of screenshots, just an idea. I would bring as much evidence as possible to the interview so if you are asked you can provide it. Good luck!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpolice certificate
Hello,

Just having one of my daily strolls around the net keeping myself familiar with all the Visa protocol,
I remain confused by when exactly I need to show a police certificate...
I assume it is to be taken to my interview with me?

I am the beneficiary and have only ever lived in the UK.

Thank you so much for any info,
Emma

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDivorce decree, original copy?
Hi, i have my interview in 2 weeks at London for my K1, i have one question, my fiancee, whom i am planning to move out to was previously married, do i need to take HER certified copy of HER divorce to the interview, the only reason i ask is that it was already submitted when she originally petitioned with the i-129,i have a copy with the pack that she put together. If i do need it and it doesnt get here in time will it cause major problems i.e will they continue with interview but hold the issuing of visa until they receive it? thanks for your help :) p.s I cant begin to tell you how stressed out i am by the whole process p.p.s just to clarify i have never been married, which is why i am asking because of iv-15k where it says i need marriage certificates and divorce decree, is it just referring to me or her as well

US Citizenship General Discussioninterview this Wednesday!
so, here i am again, Mr Worrywart! :) well i haven't got my fiancee's divorce decree or her original marriage certificate(i have copies) which she put into the i-129 package when she compiledit....im just worrried now that they are gonna think (which im sure most of you will) that im an incompetent idiot as when i sent off the iv-15 checklist i ticked that i had them thinking they would be sent but then when we went through the embassy info it appeared that the documents were pertaining only to the applicant, me, so she never sent them, but then reading other blogs and forums it would appear that i do need them, so she went to her court house but has to wait a month to get it which obviously won't be here in time, im worried that the whole thing will be suspended and ill have to go through the same stress and nerves. I know some will say why didnt she just send them in the first place and i would agree that is what we should have done, but we didn't and unfortunately can't rectify it at this stage, basically what i'm trying to get to is will the CO 'undersand' if i explain to him/her why i ticked them? and do you think it willcause major problems? so if anybody can help put my mind at rest over this whole thing i would be most grateful :)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI NEED ASSISTANCE 2

Just want to clear up some confusion about police certificates, because I see it AGAIN and AGAIN on here. The rules for London are:

  • You need one for the country of your birth/current nationality if you lived there more than 6 months
  • You need one for any other country if you have lived there for 12 months or more
  • You ALWAYS need one for the UK

Source: the London Embassy website: http://www.usembassy...iv/pbcerts.html

And also from personal experience -- my husband lived in Germany for over six months and Russia for nearly 11 months but was not required to provide police certificates for either country, only for the UK.

Thank you. i will look indo it. im a born UK resident. so im only going to need one for the UK.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCO-SPONSOR NEEDED!!!

finding a sponsor was something I thought we would never do

it isn't easy

good luck (F)

then you must understand how important it is right? The only thing stopping me being with the love of my life is a co-sponsor. I would do anything to be with her. Seems like all my options aint great, but i'm still hopeful in everything i do.

The joint sponsor must be a LPR or a USC. Can be related or not. Doesn't matter.

what is a LPR??

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI NEED ASSISTANCE

I-134 and the I-864 are both affidavits of support, but the I-134 goes by the 100% of the poverty guidelines, and the I-864 goes by 125%. The I-134 is used at the K-1 interview, but the I-864 is used at AOS, which is why people generally always follow the guidelines for it.


does our co-sponsor only have to fill out the I-134? because we have sent away our I-129F 2 months ago, and we only found out about the I-134 afew days ago, does that mean we have to send the I-134, when they ask for further info on our money sittuation?

Or do we hand it in at the interview?

I'm the same way, but she really needs to learn how to control them and not let them get the better of her. This journey is far from over, and you aren't even to the hard part yet.

I used to be impatient and hot headed. This process has beat me down so much now that I've learned to just roll with the punches and do my homework.

The best advice anyone here can give you is to read, read, read, read. And when you think you've filled out a form too many times, do it just once more. I always fill my forms out at least 3 to 4 times. I always find the mistakes that would have cost us months on the very last try.

Good luck.

THANKYOU. WE'LL BE FINE I NO IT.

See! He's not giving up!!! Why should you be so willing so give up because you have to ask for help??? I know it seems so hard, but it's really not asking that much of her. Basically, she signs her name to a piece of paper. If everything goes well and he doesn't end up a public charge she'll basically never hear another thing about it.


She lets her emotions get the better of her somtimes. But i no she wouldnt want to give up on us. but everything should work out
just sooo happy about this. cant wait.

Agreed. And it doesn't even have to be a family member - just a US citizen or LPR who are willing to agree to it.

Or there is the option of a second job as Nik+Heather has mentioned several times.

Beyond that, I'm sorry that you didn't research this as you should have before filing - but it is what it is. All you can do now is try to overcome the obstacle.


We did the research, tried to find info on the money sittuation, called people. they didnt give a solid answer. But thanks to you guys we now have a more clear view on what to do. I'm determined to overcome this obstacle.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWaiting for my K1 Visa Appointment

Hey guys,

 

I've been waiting for my K1 Visa appointment for a while now. I did my medical about 4 weeks ago and was told by the surgery that if I didn't hear anything back within 5 working days then everything is okay and they've sent everything to the embassy.

 

Since then I've been waiting for an appointment but I'm getting really nervous because this has to be wrapped up by January 3rd 2014 according to my letter. It's currently December 9th and I haven't heard anything.

 

Is there something else I need to do? I have all of my documents and now I'm just waiting and getting more and more nervous every day that my appointment date doesn't come through the post.

 

Have I got to book to the appointment? If so, how?

 

Thanks 

 

Jay

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed help with Affidavit of Support

It depends. If you have to actually do any work to get that money, no, that income won't count. If, however you are receiving dividends or something like that, it would be "passive" income which does count. The whole thing is that if you enter on the K-1 fiance visa, you can't work for a few months until you get your green card. Makes sense? (All this changes if you decide to get married and go for the CR-1 spousal visa)I wouldn't worry about this, adding a job (a legit one, not a cash under the table one) is an easy to understand way to get more income. There are a lot of students on VJ who also suddenly just start earning money mid-year etc. Also, USCIS doesn't care about any sudden tax filings, they only care that they are up to date.I guess it depends on that inheritance then...Can she document the set amounts somehow? The best would be some sort of statement which would show a guarantee and time frame. Or, if nothing else, bank statements which show it's regular in-come. I assume that it is an asset which is in some sort of lower interest guaranteed annuity or something? Anyway, it shows up as income on her taxes, so maybe this isn't an asset issue, maybe it's an income issue. The tax filings are considered to be an accurate measure of income, and it's the gross income that counts. I can't speak for the immigration officers, but if I were making bets, I would say no. While I agree that it's pretty cool, there's just not a good way of proving the value, OR that you could sell it for what it's worth in a hurry if you had some sort of emergency (That's where liquidity comes in).I don't think London sets the bar too high for this, but again, you have to be careful about getting the visa and then not being able to complete the process and adjust status. I don't think you should stop looking for solutions until you have identified assets at a minimum 3:1 ratio of the income shortfall not knowing the specific numbers, I couldn't tell you how much is needed.
No problem - not a burden at all. I like helping others through the process.


Absolutely the best information I could get. Thanks a million. I'll have to do my research into the whole 3:1 ratio stuff, but i'm sure its simple. Also, on me getting income from the same source. Yeah, it will be given to me, I wont have to work for it. Benefits of owning a family business, hahaha. Thanks again for all the help. I hope you can check out my future postings on these fourms as I post them. You have been a wealth of knowledge. RockyTails.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed help with Affidavit of Support

Hi Rocky, welcome to Visa Journey! I'm a little confused about the background of your question because you haven't filled out your profile yet, but I'll try to make some guesses then answer based on that - you can tell me if I'm wide of the mark then. ;)

I'm assuming: You have not filed a petition at all yet, and want to know about the financial sponsorship aspects.

Firstly, the financials do not come into play until the interview phase which will be 4 months away if your petition phase is fast, and maybe even 8 or 9 months away if you file during a slow period (and again after you arrive on the K-1 visa and then apply for adjustment of status). So, you do have some time to make things work out you don't have to have it all set before you file the petition to get the ball rolling. On the other hand, it's good to be prepared for these kinds of things before jumping in! It sounds like you know about the 125% poverty guidelines. This burden can be met in two ways, so I'll address them separately:

Income:
Income can be wages, some types of social security, and child support is also included. All of these must be documented. The wages are fairly straightforward with an employer letter, pay stubs, W-2s & tax filing information etc, Child support could also be easily proven with the court order showing the amount, then following that up with proof (bank statements etc) that it's coming in.
Income is the fastest way to boost your financials - could she ask for more hours at work or take on a second part time job etc?
The income of the beneficiary does not generally count, unless it can be proven that it will continue from the same source - ie: rental property which you will keep receiving money from or interest, etc.

Assets:
You mention that she is expecting an inheritance? I would keep in mind that unless her departed loved one set things up very well, that money may not be hers for some time, and could be substantially reduced by taxes, court fees, lawyer fees etc. before it ever reaches her bank account. Unless the process is nearing it's end and the final amount and date is set and known, I wouldn't count on this money. Other easily liquidated (so, not primary residence, car, etc, more along the lines of stocks, or straight up cash) assets can be used to make up income shortfall. Since you are an immediate relative (or will be) the ratio is 3:1. Meaning, if she needs to make 20k in income and only makes 18k, that's a 2k shortfall in income, and she would need 3 x 2k = 6k in assets to successfully sponsor.
The assets of the beneficiary DO count. In fact, if you have a moderate sum of money saved up, London lets people self-sponsor. However, you'll want to make sure you look ahead to the future adjustment of status filing - you don't want to get to the US and then be stuck without a green card!

Finally, if you can't work things out so that the numbers can meet your needs, you can submit the paperwork for a cosponsor. At the visa phase, this cosponsor would need to be able to support you (only the immigrant) as an addition to their existing household. That means, if the cosponsor lives alone, they would have a household of two, themselves and the immigrant. Your wife and her children don't come into it. Especially if you feel as though things will be border line, you might want to identify a cosponsor and get their paperwork done before the interview so that you could have it in reserve if needed.

All the best!

PS: Since you haven't filed yet, ESPECIALLY if financials are a concern, take a look at a comparison between the different visas. You may determine that it would be better for you two to get married and then apply for a spousal CR-1 visa instead of the K-1 fiance visa. The CR-1 would allow you to come in as a permanent resident and start working right away. Also, the fees are substantially less.


Edited to add paystubs to proofs of income, since that was actually one of the questions asked....duh Heather!


Hello my friend. Thanks for the reply. The reason for my profile being so blank is because we are no where near the process of filing yet, the foreseeable future is the best I can hope for, but you are spot on about everything you've said in your reply and you've helped me greatly. I hope we can keep our correspondence going.

I was hoping we could discuss some of the points you raised:
Firstly something you said about my income counting if it continues from the same source. I own with my family a business. What if I kept getting money from my buisness?
What bothers me most about the income part is that she's only just started working and I fear whoever I talk to will not like the sudden increase in income, sudden filing of a tax return etc.

On the assest side of things:
Her inheratance is all sorted out, she gets set amounts both yearly and monthly. When talking about my assests. I got plenty of my own in America, mostly in the shape of collectable games consoles, its a neat collection, but I would give it up to be with her. Would these count?
Also, I am interested in learning about being able to self-sponser, how much saved money we talking about? Hahaha.

In terms of a co-sponser, I doubt that will happen, I cant think of anyone who'd co-sponser me at present, but heres hoping.

Thank you once again for your response, and thank you in advance for your future help. I hope to hear from you soon. I hope I am not becoming too much of a Burden. RockyTails.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed help with Affidavit of Support
Hello all. New to the fourms, but def the best source of information I know of.

What I need help with is the Affidavit of Support, both I-134 & I-864. The situation me and my fiancee are in is as follows: She only just started working about a month back, and it seems this presents some problems:
1. She will file her first tax return in Janurary, until then she has none to show let alone three.
2. She, at the moment, is not making the required 125% of the poverty guideline through work, but I am sure through other means (Inhertance, Child Support) it should reach the required amount.
Is it worth us even filing for the K-1 Visa at the present stature? Would it be problematic to file in the next 3 - 9 months? What can we do to resolve the issues?

Thank you in advance for any reply and help with this. I will be eternally greatful.

QUOTE (skparker @ Jan 17 2009, 06:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I know there are the DS-230 and DS-156, DS-156K and another form for males for the packet 3 forms that are sent from the embassy....

My question is....what is the total fees for filing these forms?

Thank you,


Kristine


There is no fee for filing these forms they are all included in the initial payment of $455
the only bills left for you for the visa are the medical £180 + and jabs you need........that is if you have not had the medical already
$130 for the visa istself thay you pay at the interview and around £15 for the courier and that is till till you get to the states and start AOS

those forms are $1010

start saving hahahahahahaha

Stinky MonkeyFemaleUnited Kingdom2009-01-17 14:52:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1 : what is packet 3 & 4
packet 3 will be sent to you when it reaches the French embassy, it will contain details of the medical and what forms are required to be sent back straight away and what you need to bring to the interview together with the check list.

Packet 4 is sent to you when they have checked all of your packerwork and give you your interview date.

If you have a look in the guides it will explain it to you better than I can

To be honest with you dont pay to much attention to the dates that are given to you from VSC they give you the longest it will take, most people find that the date given by VJ is the closest date as it is based on what is actually happening
Stinky MonkeyFemaleUnited Kingdom2009-01-25 14:22:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhat happens after NOA2??
You can book your medical with Knightbridge Doctors as soon as you have your LND case number

The will send packet 3 to you with the details of the forms that you have to complete they do not send you the forms you have to download them

they consist of DS230 Part 1 only need to fill in pages 1 and 2, DS-156 in duplicate but do not sign, DS-156K and DS157 for males aged 16-45, all these forms can be sent back, you can send the check list back later when you have all the other paperwork they have requested from you and the information from the USC

hope that helps
